I looked but couldn't find much info on it; I thought Legacy Champion could not advance a PrC into its epic form (and so not be useful for illithid Savant) or am I barking at the moon?
Im done with that build but I'm waiting on the LC question, since epic illithid Savant is too good to ignore.

hmm ... I should have answered this, and while I had access.
Anybody have the Weapon Of Legacy book handy,
to check whether the Legacy Champ PrC
advances base classes above 20, or PrC classes above 10 (or 5) ?? !!
Same with Uncanny Trickster in CAdv (iirc).
While I don't believe that a firm answer is available for progressing the class epically, you both still missed the best part. Eating a level 10 legacy champion will grant you 8 levels of class progression. The first eat will let you finish off Illithaid savant and put another level into something else. Take for example.
Psionic Illithaid 15/Thrallherd 1/ Illithaid savant 3.
Eat one Advance class abilities: 7 savant 1 Thrallherd
Eat two Advance class abilities: 8 Thrall herd
Now you have 10 effective levels of savant, 17 levels of telepath progression (using the 9 telepath levels from psionic version), 10 full effective levels of thrallherd. Not bad for a level 19 character. You can always true res the legacy champion for the second eat. If you cannot stack the "progress class ability" more than once, that just means you can save your second eat for something else, like psionics or whatever you want.
Now the only downside is how does it work epic illithaid savant. Once you are epic, do you need 10 levels in the class to take the first epic level if you are an effective level 10?
There is also that mind dragon (Brain stealer maybe) or whatever it is called in dragon magazine 337. It is a dragon Illithaid. If I remeber correctly it is 7HD with a LA of +5, saving you three levels and granting that all so sexy dragon type. Any thoughts of if it is Illithaid savant capable?
